sessions sounds like the type to do that and it freaks me out

I doubt that will happen, regardless of Trump, locking up a bunch of veterans who use mm for PTSD is just too bad of optics.

I'm not sure if a big war on weed would have a significant effect on the 2018 or 2020 elections but I bet it would lead to more states legalizing it in protest.

the president is an orange buffoon who keeps appointing either white supremacists or bankers to his cabinet, optics no longer matter

the only thing that matters is that death is inevitable

Trump needs the republican congress & senate & the rest of the establishment more than they need him, so there's going to be a new war on weed and it's going to become illegal again, because that's the the gop party wants

the fact that the gop base care less about weed doesn't matter, that's not an important piece of information

tl;dr sessions is going to crack down and everyone is going to cry

I took a weedjob over the election and they have no lack of momentum. Current vibe is that if they do touch it, they'll federally legalize so they can slap 7% on top or whatever. They love money over all, epileptic kids being basically cured by CBD are very powerful stories in the media right now, and they don't need weed to be illegal to detain and shoot brown ppl any more.

(spouse works in weed too so we are kind of putting money where mouth is)

I don't mean to be insulting, but this seems like wishful thinking. Especially given your own stake.

pot arrests/convictions are grossly disproportionate to race ( guess who gets convicted more!!) so yes, pot is going to be turboillegalized right out of the gate

The problem, as always, is that despite most of the Democratic base opposing it, most of the Democratic politicians would actually support this happening, so they'll be quiet lest they ruin "one of the few good things" the administration is doing.

Why are the democrats so bad a partisan politics? When Obama was bombing Libya Fox News turned into Human Rights Watch just because it was someone else who got to do the bombing.

The voters overwhelmingly support legalization and a lot of them aren't cool with it, they just don't have any other choice when the opposition party is even more rabidly pro-drug war.

Literally right this moment a huge chunk of Democrats are excitingly talking about how they are totally on board with Trumps plan to replace Obamacare.

Almost everyone under 30 I know cares about it and I know plenty of people who have been hurt by it who aren't poor or black, Dem politicians just don't really care much about what millenials think especially when they vote at a low rate.

The age factor definitely has a role in this, a lot of the establishment Dems are old as poo poo and have antiquated views of weed, even Obama to some extent.

Weed's not romantic tho. You can't have some big story about how great recreational weed. There's no crying 80 year old gay couples getting married with weed legalization, it's just a 20 something dude in a bowtie that starts every sentence with "actually, studies show" and the GOP benefits of keeping it as illegal as possible are numerous, since white america doesn't give a poo poo about black people in prison.
